I'm brand new to using macros and spreadsheets and am having trouble with LibreOffice Calc recognizing the JRE that I have installed. I've spent a day following advice on this topic on other forums, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm applying to a coding bootcamp and need to complete a task using an Excel spreadsheet, but can't start the fun coding part until I get this installation problem figured out. I currently have java version "1.8.0_101" and Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13).

Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thank you!
